    ideas for smoking store-bought chorizo?

     Man oh man.....thats a sure fire way to start a fight!!  My family and friends have agreed to not broach that subject, we have a Magna Carta that was drawn up with the agreement being that without beans...we'll refer to it as Chili Con Carne (beef and hot peppers) and what I described above as...

    ideas for smoking store-bought chorizo?

    Let me help you bump it up another notch there partner. Carne Molida (hamburger) is no way to make real chili. I will call it by it's Spanish name because we are talking about chorizo. As a Texican by birth and pride....Chili needs to be made with real chunks of beef. Smoke a chuckie then cut...

    ideas for smoking store-bought chorizo?

    Gary....Must be about the same as me.....I'm from the South and a self confessed gear head. I absolutely can't watch more than 3 minutes of NASCAR without worrying I am losing brain cells. IMHO only....the most boring damn thing ever....the idea that the only excitement is when someone wrecks...

    ideas for smoking store-bought chorizo?

    Dang Gary....hard to find hooch and a shortage of chorizzo. WTH do you have to look forward to other than Hockey night with Don Cherry? Ok....that may be a little harsh, but I couldnt imagine not getting my chorizzo fix. Even the big box store's meat markets mix their own both here and in LA...

The Evans is good, The Jack...

    ideas for smoking store-bought chorizo?

    Mix it with a couple different cheeses and rice, then stuff some peppers with it. Throw in the smoker and it should be done in about 3.5-4 hrs at 275.   One of my crews favorites.   Another option that  tried once a few weeks ago and went over well, filet out your pork loin, spread the...

    DIRTY LITTLE SECRET!!!!

    THE OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY  I wrestled for them from 84-88. There was a bar on High Street where they sold Beer by the 5 gallon buckets, Genny Beer (not Ale) was the cheapest at the time. Interior was picnic tables, music was awesome, typical jock/sports dive.

    Uncle Goldie's Fruit Liqueur

    My gramma made bounce as well. I remember cherry and strawberry being the two most prominent batches. Biggest difference I can recall is she made hers with cheap whiskey......Old Grandad, Kesslers, Canadian Club and such. She'd make them in jars then set them in her closet to age. I have...

    Bourbon Glazed Rack of Pork

    They say imitation is the greatest form of flattery. Be flattered Chief, this old bosun is going to shamelessly copy that meal this week for the crew! That looks freakin awesome. I may replace the Beam with some Big House Tupelo Honey Boubon......but definitely gonna rip this off.  Well Done.

    Maintaining consistent temps in a large charcoal smoker

    I believe the others are on to something as far as the soaked wood, you shouldn't really use it. If dry wood is "flaming up pretty quickly" it would appear that you may have an issue with your air control to the fire box. If you can shoot a couple pics showing the fire box area itself...

    Christmas Tree is already up????

    What are old Chebbie trucks good for? - Haulin' stuff!

    Me too Gary, I know a lot of folks like the step sides, but I've always kinda taken to the fleetsides. I like that spear going down the bedside.
Great deal on LEM Grinders!
